Worthy successors to the iPod name. Sleek looks and intuitive menus at a fair price. The legendary white iPod is no more. In its place is a slimmer brushed aluminium model, in silver or black, known as the iPod classic. Unlike Coke Classic, its even...

What youll notice straight away is its shape: its a little shorter and much wider than its predecessor. Both the 4GB and 8GB configurations are identical in terms of dimensions - 6.9 x 5.2 x 0.7cm - so it is thinner than the older model, but at 49.2...
